Email to SMS Service with Python

Text Messaging and Email remain the top forms of communication, even with the recent wave of Social Media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. Email is still the king of all forms of electronic communication. Maybe it has something to do with it's decentralized exchange, or maybe something to do with being able to setup your own server and control who you communicate with through it. Either way, SMS and Email are both useful. Recently I had the need to allow a conversation to start with a SMS be delivered to an Email inbox and then replied to from the email. Here is how I was able to get this accomplished with the Python programming language and it's amazing libraries.
